Description: "Analysis of Shaolin Chin Na - Instructor's Manual for All Martial Styles - An Effective Way of Self-Defense" - by Dr. Yang Jwing-Ming - Softcover (7" x 10") - SCARCE 3rd Printing - Published in 1989 by YMAA (Yang's Martial Arts Association) - 196 pages (with several hundred great black & white photos and illustrations) - Very good-excellent condition. Chin Na is the study of how to control your opponent. It uses joint locks to limit his mobility, and attacks acupuncture cavities and other sensitive parts of the body with strikes, grabs, pressure, and other techniques. Chin Na is part of the course of study in almost all Chinese martial styles, and it can be a valuable addition to any to any other martial system. Chinese Chin Na is the root of the Japanese arts of Jujitsu and Aikido, and practitioners can use the study of Chin Na to increase their understanding of the theory and principles of their own arts. While the author's first Chin Na book, "Shaolin Chin Na," served as a general introduction, this book goes into greater depth in its analysis of the techniques. The theory and principles of the art are discussed, as well as counter techniques and training methods. The average person without martial experience can easily use this book to teach himself this art. The ultimate goal of this volume is to enable the reader to reach a depth of understanding where he will be able to create his own personal Chin Na techniques. There is some minor corner wear (see the scan), but there is no writing or highlighting and this book is still in very nice condition and it's hard to find in such nice shape. Please see the scan for the great photo on the cover and so you can judge the condition for yourself (unlike many other booksellers, who post generic scans, the book in my scan is the one you will get). You can try to buy this book for less money from one of those eBay booksellers with hundreds, if not thousands of negatives (you know the ones I refer to) and be lucky if the book is delivered to you in the stated condition (if you even get it at all), or you can buy it from me and be assured of a prompt delivery and of receiving an item true to the condition indicated. You won't be disappointed. All previous buyers of my martial arts books have been completely satisfied. I have many others available; please check my listings. The book will be sent via Media mail shipping in the USA. I will combine shipping to reduce charges for multiple items. If you purchase more than one item, please wait until I send you an invoice with the appropriate combined shipping discount. Please see my auctions and my eBay store for hundreds of books and a wide variety of sports and non-sports collectibles. All items are packed with care to insure safe delivery. Please contact me if you have any questions. 12-29-20 -- 15.2
